Description

Ingredients

• 1 3/4 cups all-purpose flour
• 3/4 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 2 cups granulated sugar
• 1 1/2 tsp baking soda
• 1 1/2 tsp baking powder
• 1/2 tsp salt
• 2 large eggs, room temperature
• 1 cup buttermilk
• 1/2 cup vegetable oil
• 2 tsp vanilla extract
• 1 cup freshly brewed hot coffee
• 1 cup unsalted butter, softened
• 5 tbs corn syrup
• 1 cup unsweetened cocoa powder
• 3 cups confectioners sugar
• 1 tsp vanilla extract
• 1/4 cup heavy cream

Directions

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Grease two 9 baking pans and line the bottoms with parchment paper circles to ensure no sticking.
• In a large bowl, whisk flour, cocoa powder, sugar, baking soda, baking powder and salt together until combined. Make a well in the center and add eggs, milk, vegetable oil and vanilla. Beat until fully incorporated. Add hot coffee and beat again. Batter is supposed to be very thin.
• Pour batter evenly into prepared baking pans. Bake 30-40 minutes until a toothpick inserted in the center comes out with a few moist crumbs. Cool for 10-15 minutes in hot pans before inverting onto a wire rack to finish cooling completely.
• While cakes are cooling, you can prepare frosting. In a large bowl, beat butter and corn syrup until smooth. Add cocoa powder, sugar, vanilla, and cream a little bit at a time until desired consistency is achieved, beating until fully combined. About 2 minutes.
• To assemble cake: place one cake layer on a cake plate and add a generous amount of frosting on top in an even layer. Add second cake layer on top and frost the top and sides of cake.
